David Nugent-Malone was walking his dog Jake in Mugdock on a path the pair often visit.
"We’ve walked through that particular section literally hundreds of times before and have never seen anything like that", Mr Nugent-Malone told the BBC.
The forest around them was relatively calm after the strongest winds hit through the night before, but that particular pocket of woods seemed to "focus the wind to allow it to lift up the woodland floor," he added - saying the meshed together tree roots lifted like a "muddy table cloth".
Absolutely shocking he let that dog run around on it. If he got under there and the wind stopped for a moment, that dog would have died an angonzing death.
